Betsy Guerra says small daily touches matter more than you think. Greet your partner in the morning, welcome them at the door, hold their hand. Skip the logistics and complaints for five minutes first.

In a marriage, it is the little things that matter. So when you wake up, do you say good morning to your spouse? Do you go and kiss him or her when they come home from work? Do you welcome them at the door with a hug? Or do you immediately go and tell them like, oh my gosh, your daughter and your son and we have to do this and we have to run to practice and what are you doing and why are you so late? When you use those initial moments where you're reconnecting with your person to make them meaningful, you build intimacy. So something as simple as waking up and saying Good morning, my love and kissing your spouse or giving him or her a hug without words or holding the hand or grabbing their butt or just touching their hair when you pass by, all those things make a difference. So don't wait until you're falling apart. Build intimacy now.
